Depression Counselling in Woodingdean

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Woodingdean the journey down into the city and across to Hove takes around twenty minutes by car or bus. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Woodingdean or blend the two.

It can. Isolation feeds low mood and low mood then makes contact harder, so the two reinforce each other. Rebuilding contact is part of the work, done in steps you can actually manage, and the weekly session itself becomes one reliable conversation in the diary.

The hour is £80. Ninety minutes costs £100 and two hours £120, though most of this work uses the standard hour, weekly at the start. Your first 15-minute consultation is free of charge and there is no obligation to book anything afterwards.

Yes. The Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service is the NHS Talking Therapies route for the city, takes direct self-referrals for depression and is free. Waiting times move about and sessions are capped, which is why some people use both routes together.

Because depression is not a mood you can decide your way out of. It changes sleep, appetite, energy and thinking, and willpower alone rarely touches those. What does help is structure, gradual activity and unpicking the beliefs underneath, which is what sessions concentrate on.

Usually, yes. Later slots exist both in Hove and online, which suits people who are holding a job together while feeling flat. Tell Bradley what your week looks like during the free 15-minute call and a workable time can be arranged from the start.

Yes. Many clients here begin online by secure video, especially when the hill or a low day makes the trip down feel impossible, and move to my Hove room when ready. The work is just as effective either way, always at your pace.

When motivation is low, I keep booking simple: a free fifteen-minute call, then a first session. The road runs down past the racecourse into Brighton, then west to Hove, around twenty minutes by car or bus. If leaving home feels hard, we can begin online.

Sessions are £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours, after a free consultation. Free NHS Talking Therapies for Brighton & Hove accepts self-referrals without a GP, though waits can drain momentum; private sessions mean help with low mood starts straight away.

Either suits depression. Being a little out of the way, online from home spares the journey on flat days, while the trip into Hove can be a helpful lift on others. We can alternate, and evening and weekend appointments suit unpredictable energy.
